The Leo Tolstoy Story

THIS WATER, THESE MOUNTAINS, THIS SKY ...

It is July 7, 1857. They come from Russia and are called by their full name Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy. In less than two months you will be 29, you are not yet married and live mostly as squire in Yasnaya Polyana. Their main works "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina", with which you will gain world fame, are not yet written. It is your first trip to Western European countries for educational purposes.

After stops in Paris, Geneva and Bern you arrived in Lucerne. This is teeming with tourists. It is above all the English that irritate you with their stiff, snooty appearance. They get off at the Hotel Schweizerhof Lucerne, which opened twelve years earlier - the best hotel on the square.

As you come up to your room and open the windows overlooking the lake, you will literally be dazzled and shaken by the beauty of this water, the mountains and the sky ...;

everywhere movement, asymmetry, adventurous forms, an infinitely varied mixture of shadows and lines, and in all the rest, the softness, the unity and the necessity of beauty. "Only the" stupid, artificial white quay with the supported linden trees "contradicts yours Opinion about the natural harmony and beauty.

At half past eight you are called to dinner: In the large, sumptuous breakfast room you dine along with other hotel guests on two long tables. Your unloved English are back with them. They annoy the apathetic faces and wanted passionate conversations, jokes and puns.

The digestive walk through the streets of the old town of Lucerne also brings no satisfaction. Until you suddenly hear the voice of a singer who immediately opens your heart. It is "a tiny human being" who sings old songs from the Tyrol under the windows of the Schweizerhof. The crowd listens spellbound, but denies the singer at the end of his performance a donation and even ridiculed him.

You, however, invite the street artist - to a bottle of champagne. It is only reluctant to let you sit down with your poorly dressed musician in the restaurant of the hotel, where your escort will be mocked.

The experience stirs up in such a way that you sit down in the middle of the night in your room at the desk and write down the events as socially critical travel report under the title "Lucerne".

One and a half centuries later, in 2010, your nephew and the director of the Tolstoy Museum in Moscow will visit this room. Both carry under their arm a copy of the "folk tales" of you

Leo N. Tolstoy, one of the greatest thinkers and writers of his time.

The story behind the Villa Hausermatte

THE VILLA HAUSERMATTE - FILLED WITH A COLORFUL HISTORY

It was around the year 1860 when the property was acquired by the Zingg family in a privileged location, directly on the banks of Lake Lucerne, and a manor house was built thereon. When the twentieth century was upon us - and with it the Gotthard station, which was planned in the immediate vicinity, the Hauser family bought this stately home to build a stylish and grand hotel. The merger of the then railway companies in 1909, however, not only the station, but also the vision of the hotel was obsolete and henceforth the Hausermatte became known as the venue of prestigious equestrian events around the world. From 1924 also the venue of the Concours Hippique International. Until 1976, the international equestrian sport met here. 

In 1920, the VILLA was extended on the east side under the aegis of the well-known Lucerne architect Arnold Bringolf-Hauser and subsequently used by the Hauser family as a summer residence. 

For about 70 years, a planned by the city riverside path was again and again cause for discussion between the owner family and the city authorities. When the 800th anniversary of the city of Lucerne was imminent in 1978, it was finally possible to have an amicable settlement. The heaped lakeside path was opened. As a witness of the formerly direct approach to the lake, the wooden and beautiful boathouse continues to delight hikers and strollers. 

Shortly thereafter, the Hauser family was granted permission to build a housing development with rental apartments in the upper segment, parking garages, restaurant, indoor pool and physio practice on the site. In 1981 the first apartments were moved in and the restaurant opened its doors. Even then the VILLA had three beautiful rooms with lake view as well as two guest rooms on the first floor.

Top sights and excursions

The city. The sea. The mountains. Whatever you expect from a unique city, the canton of Lucerne in Central Switzerland offers more. What can be done in Lucerne? Visit the landmark of Lucerne: the Chapel Bridge with the water tower . Or stroll through the old town of Lucerne past the Lion Monument . During a visit to central Switzerland you should not miss the cultural and congress center KKL Lucerne and the Jesuit church - the first large, sacral Baroque building in Switzerland.

The "City of Lights" Lucerne: an enigmatic story

No city name gives historians and name researchers as many puzzles as the "city of lights" Lucerne. Is it attributed to an angelic figure, the botany or even a fish? Read on and decide for yourself which variant seems to you most likely.

According to some sources, the city name "Lucerne" comes from the Latin word "Lucerna": a ray of light that an angel has sent down to earth - right where the Hofkirche stands today. Others say that the origin of the "city of lights" lies in the plant world, more precisely in the clover variety "alfalfa". Finally, there is the possibility of the Latin "Luciaria", which means as much as a "collection of pike". As a result, Lucerne was once a fishing village.

The 40-minute round trip with the City Train Lucerne gives you an overview of the city of Lucerne and its important sights.
